Description

Judd-109, Pollock-122. This copper restrike pairs the 1839 Gobrecht dollar obverse with the starry reverse of 1836. Struck with a plain edge, it is the copper companion of the silver Judd-108. The originals were struck in medal rotation with a level-flying eagle, departing from conventional American coin alignment. Restrikes appear in both this original orientation and in standard coin rotation. uspatterns.com records a single example, struck in die alignment III between the late 1860s and the mid-1870s. Reference data: struck in copper with a plain edge, rated unique. Catalogued as Judd-109, Pollock-122, A/W 87. alignment III believed struck circa 1875-1876.
